An Immersive Healing Experience
Experience an evening of deep restoration, where the mindful clarity of meditation meets the transformative power of sound. This special event features a guided meditation led by Daniel, with a live sound bath offered by Julie, an experienced sound healer and singing bowl practitioner.
Event Flow & What to Expect
We begin with a guided meditation, seated comfortably in chairs, bringing awareness to your breath, and gradually scanning sensations throughout the body. Resting the mind and grounding awareness in the body provides a beneficial foundation for a sound bath experience. We release expectations and stay present with sensation. As the guided part of the meditation transitions to a sound bath, you are invited to enter into a personal, inner journey as Julie creates a spontaneous offering. We then gently return to meditation on sensation and the present moment, and offer an optional space to express anything about your experience.
Guided Meditation with Daniel
Daniel will open the session by gently guiding you into mindfulness, using breath awareness and a gradual body scan to ground your attention. Drawing from his extensive experience in samatha (calm abiding) and vipassana (insight) meditation, Daniel’s approach helps you settle the mind and cultivate presence, creating the perfect foundation for the sound bath to follow.
Sound Bath with Julie
As the meditation seamlessly transitions, Julie will envelop you in a tapestry of healing sounds using singing bowls and other instruments. Each vibration is designed to deepen your relaxation, release tension, and invite a personal journey of healing and renewal. The immersive soundscape helps shift brainwave states, promoting profound relaxation, clarity, and emotional balance.
Integration & Sharing
After the sound bath, Daniel will gently guide you back to present-moment awareness, inviting you to notice sensations and integrate your experience. There will be an optional space to share reflections, or simply rest in the calm that follows.
Benefits of Meditation & Sound Bath Combined
Deeper Relaxation: Meditation calms the mind, while sound bath vibrations soothe the body, working together to promote deep rest and renewal
Enhanced Mindfulness: Anchoring awareness in the body and breath helps you remain present, while the sound bath encourages letting go of distractions
Emotional Release & Balance: The combined practice can help process and release stress, anxiety, and stored emotions, fostering a sense of peace
Holistic Healing: Participants often report improved mood, better sleep, reduced pain, and a lasting sense of wellbeing
